Supplies

  • Circus juggle ring
  • Selfie stick
  • 1 x bearing ABEC7 (from skateboard)
  • wooden ball Ø 30 mm
  • 1 x screw M6 x 30 mm
  • 5 x screws M4 x 16 mm with nut
  • 1 x screw M8 x 30 mm with nut
  • 1 x screw nut M8
  • 2 x spacing disc M4
  • 1 x wing nut M4
  • 1 x 3D printed selfie connection piece
  • 2 x 3D printed plates
  • fine maker
  • sandpaper
  • bench vice
  • drill
  • holesaw
  • 2 x clamps
  • 3D printer
  • open-end spanner
  • screwdriver

You can buy the juggle ring and the bearings in the Decathlon. All the other pieces are easy to find online or in a DIY shop like Brico. The 3D prints can be easy printed with a little 3D printer lik the Ultimaker.

Step 1: 3D Prints

First, print the 3D models 

  • twice the clip (45 min) and once the connection piece (1h53) 

the STL files can be found here.

Step 2: Bearing

  • place the bolt, bearing and nut as in the first photo
  • slide the bearing over the bolt
  • tighten the nut around the bolt
  • if necessary, tighten it a little with a spanner 
  • if your result is the same as in the last picture, you are doing well 

Step 3: Jiggle Ring

  • take the juggling ring and place it with a particle off the edge of your work table 
  • tighten the ring with two clamps 
  • place a hole saw with the same diameter of the bearing on your drill bit 
  • drill a hole in the centre of the juggling ring 
  • sand the hole

Step 4: Connection Piece

  • take the support out from the connection piece of the selfie stick 
  • remove the support using a tool you find easy (e.g. small pliers), the connection piece should be hollow 
  • now clamp the piece between a vice (not too hard so it doesn't break)
  • now screw in the (insert) thread 
  • screw it in using a tool (e.g. a metal strip)
  • turn until you can go no further 

Step 5: Wooden Ball

  • take the wooden ball, the selfie stick and the bolt 
  • clamp the ball with the vice and drill a hole the same diameter as the bolt
  • screw the bolt into the ball 
  • if necessary, tighten it a little with a screwdriver 

Step 6: Merging

After these four separate steps, we can start putting everything together. 

  • take the bearing and the ring
  • place the bearing in the hole of the ring 
  • slide the 3D printed clip over it (make sure it doesn't go outside the ring)
  • use the marker to mark where the four screws will go 
  • drill four holes near the dots (the same diameter as the screws)
  • screw the screws into the holes 
  • turn the ring and slide another clip over the four screws
  • now screw the four (cap) nuts over the screws 
  • the largest bolt (the one from the bearing) sticks out at one side 
  • screw the connection piece onto it 
  • now we can also attach the selfie stick to the connection piece 
  • screw a bolt through the connector and the selfie stick, don't forget the washers
  • tighten with a wing nut 

Step 7: Ready to Use
